Title: apache2 not available. listed as dependence by other extensions.
Post by: florian on September 20, 2009, 02:11:20 PM

Can't find Apache2 no available in the tcz repository
However php5.tcz extension lists apache2.tcz in its dependencies.

It looks like apache2.tcz isn't in the repo...there is an apache2.tce. I must have missed this somehow  :-\
you can also use php5-cgi and lighttpd. Its a lighter setup then apache, and I'm not sure if the apache extension can use SSL or not.

There will be a php update when 5.3.1 comes out.

Hi robc. Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I cannot use lighttpd because I'm building a dev environment for a system which uses apache in production. For now, I will then use apache2.tce and see if that works together with the other tcz extensions. If apache becomes available as tcz (for example when there's only one repository), I would switch then.

What is about tce2tcz?

For production use, the XAMPP project (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) installs into /opt directory. So using a persistent /opt provides a complete web environment.

Xampp is a great solution combined with tc. Note that the latest version of Xampp includes php 5.3.0 which breaks many php applications as a result of deprecating several functions.
